Easy White Bread Recipe

This recipe uses the hand kneading method – no stand mixer needed! (However, if you prefer to use a stand mixer, instructions are provide in the recipe notes section below.)

TIP: After turning dough out onto the counter, if the dough is sticking to your fingers, simply take somebenchflour and do a “dry flour wash” by rubbing your hands together with the flourover a bowl or your garbage can. This prevents your sink from getting clogged up with dough!

As the dough develops during kneading, you’ll feel the ball of dough getting tighter and stronger and in about 10 minutes, the dough will look shiny and smooth.

TIP: While kneading, only add in enough extra flour to keep the dough from sticking to the counter. Adding in too much flour will create a tougher and denser bread.

After rising, it’s time to shape the loaves. See pictures below for a shaping step-by-step guide, and watch the full video above for more shaping tips and tricks.

TIP: Once you shape your loaves and place them in the pans to rise, lightly spray the top of the dough with non-stick cooking spray so the dough doesn’t stick to your plastic wrap as it rises.

TIP: You know your loaves are ready to go into the oven when they pass a poke test. Simply dip your fingertip into some flour and give the top of the loaf a gentle poke. When you remove your finger, you should still be able to see an indent where your finger was. If it stays indented and doesn’t spring back up right away, you are ready to bake!
